Marabu Acrylic Ink

I received a new product in my Art Snack box recently - see that pink? That is Maribu Acrylic Ink. It sprays on and mixes really well with other ink sprays. Like the teal Dylusions Ink Spray. Great combination. Frankly, I don't know where you buy it. Mine was a sample bottle. I took this piece with me to Orlando this week and completed the tangling I had started. Worked on some new patterns and I included a couple older ones.

Getting Sketchy Week 7

 Here are my sketchbook pages for this week.

I tried out a few new to me tangles that

I had been admiring online.

I really love that barrel roll!

 And I worked on some new things for myself.

 Still loving Sandy Hunter's lollywimple!

And I really like this organic braid!

Played a bit with some curvy patterns.

They bare much similarity to two I've already made.

 This week I tangled on a background I made

a week or so in my sketchbook

using a brayer and rolling on color.

Also, I tried a new acrylic ink spray

from Marabu! 

That would be the burgundy color.

Love it!

Sprayed on well and mixed great with

the turquoise Dylusions Ink Spray.

Are you using your sketchbook each week?

It's a great way to document what you learn,

and to track your tangling progress.

Why don't you give it a try?

INKtober, 2016

 INKtober.

The month every year when we try to put

pen to paper.

Each day of October.

And yet again I have failed.

I started out great.

Day One my prompt was 'fast.'

Hence the rocket ship.

I even made it through day two

with some practice tangling

lollywimple and joki -

which still eludes me.

Then life happened. I got behind. And more behind. And more behind till I said forget it.  I will try again next year.  SaveSave

So Much Fun to Tangle!

Trying out a fun new-to-me tangle this week. My friend Sandy Hunter, a CZT from Texas,  designed the tangle. It's called lollywimple. Doesn't that just sound like fun??? Here is my first shot at it. Sometimes a tangle just hits home and works. This one did. That entire piece of art is the one tangle lollywimple. Just drawn many times.  And I love it. I'm thinking about making a copy and coloring the copy with gel pens. Lots of bright crazy color. Hmmmmm......
You can find the step outs to lollywimple by clicking on the pink. Cause when you are on my blog pink = link.
